University takes steps to fortify alumni network - Commencement Guide

University takes steps to fortify alumni network - Commencement Guide: "Knapp said he hopes his hands-on approach to alumni relations will help build a more continuous relationship between GW and its graduates.

'The traditional pattern with alumni is you graduate from college, you go out working for a few years, maybe start a family, who knows what - and then after 20 years out, you starting thinking, 'Maybe I will send them a contribution or maybe I will go to a reunion or something like that,'' Knapp said. 'But often there is a kind of a loss of connection when people first leave, and I think we are not alone in that.'"
